Brain Forcing IN Children.

DIR. William A. Hammond, for twenty
five years teacher in New York medical
institute, has much to say upon this inter
estiDg subject. We regret that space will
not permit us to extract but few sentences
from his article. He denounces in forcible
language the perRicious habit of the pres
ent day. which demands that the brains of
children be crammed with material that
they have neither the strength nor ability
TO digest.
He says: How much better it would be
for the future man or woman, if the boy or
girl, instead of being required to learn
dozen different subjects ct once, should
have the number reduced to two, or at least
three Geography, for instance, might
easily be sufficiently learned in three
months, if it were taught exclusively and
so of many other subjects. As for gram
mar it should be banished from all schools;
except. perhaps, from the senior year of
University course. No child ever learns to
speak good English from studying gram
mar. 1t has driven many a poor little
witch into headache and other nervous
troubles. 1t is the most ingenious device
for forcing an immature brain into early
decrepitude, that The cunning of man has
yet devised. The only reason why it does
not do more harm is that not one In ten of
the pupils, that come out of our schools,
know anything about it."

promptly waited upon by the same
committee. that so pointedly notified us
10 leave on the previous OCCASION
and were again informed that it would not
be safe for us TO remain, and that we were
likely to meet with personal violence if we
attempted to stay They gave us to under
stand. in the most significant language,
that we had better depart at the earliest
possible moment. Coupled with this, there
was rapidly growing excitement, and
people commenced to gather for the public
meeting concerning our presence in the
town, and as it was evident that the ex-
element was much higher than on the
previous occasion, when we were forced to
leave summarily, and ordered never to
return, and were now also informed by in
dlvlduals, who were somewhat friendly TO
us upon fraternal grounds, that we would
be in imminent danger if we remained, it
was thought to be the part of wisdom not
to invite personal conflict.
!" As to the statement about threats being
made by irresponsible parties, it matters
little who made them, so long as nearly the
entire community was actively at their
backs. And although was not afraid of
open personal violence, the .Pla.9aas Na-
tioRdf, which sent your dispatch, is noted
Tor Its ultra expressions against the pres
ence of persons in that section who are

notified them to promptly leave, were as
